Solution

The common feature of European imperialism in both Africa and Asia was B. In both areas, Europeans were mainly seeking economic gain for markets in their homeland.

This is because during the period of imperialism, European nations were primarily focused on expanding their economic influence and wealth. They sought to control resources, establish trade routes, and create new markets for their goods. This was achieved by establishing colonies or spheres of influence in Africa and Asia, where they could control the production and trade of valuable resources.
